Nice picture. I have drug home a 29 Tudor body in similar condition, but found a running 29 Tudor before I did any work on it. It sure is too bad how many cars were put out to pasture before their time. And that's in the days before road salt polution that ate the bodies right off the frame.

That's for sure I remember When I lived in Mich. In about 6 years they were gone. Now they are using that crap here in NC, of course we do not get that much snow, but they make a big deal out of a little snow. They spread that brine way before it is needed. I try to stay off the roads then.

What a great picture! If only these cars could talk, imagine the stories of deaths, births, the good and the bad.

Thats probably why so many have survived.

I got in the 80ts. The Man that had it said he got it in Virginia about 20 years before we got it. He was going to restore it, but was a busy man.
He farmed and had a restaurant.

He had some that tried to buy it before we got there.
We had to promise that we would bring the car back for him to see after it was done. I did look him up after the car was done, but it was to late. But sadly he had died a short time before.

I sold the car about ten years ago to a guy near Detroit.

NO. They're only original ONCE.

Put some rubber on it and drive for ice cream with the family.

Well, maybe clean off the windshield first.

Here is a 1930 tudor that I restored in 1970. It was my second Model A. The first was a special coupe in 1960.
This picture was on my farm in Mich.

Yes but they are in a box some place. I will try to find them when I come in from the garage today. I got to get out there and work on my 1930 pickup.

Is that the rare "offset bumper" model? Never seen one of those before.
